Surprisingly Soldado sits 3rd in Goal Impact Time Table

The following table shows the squad ranked in minutes by the goal effect they have on a games, so the goals and assists are added together and divided by the number of minutes played to see how long it takes them to play a major part in a goal.

Obviously for many players it's not their job, the central defenders and the defensive midfielders stay back to allow the full-backs to overlap, we don't see so much of Jan Vertonghen for instance in the opposition half any more.

The figures are based on all competitive games and do not include gaining penalties as an assist, Soldado has had two of those recently as well.
